Hello there! This is some of my favorite hoarded paper from years ago, but I was feeling a little shabby chic-ish today! I've also been wanting to make one of these flowers for awhile too. So combining those two things together, this is what I have for you today!

Hi there ~ isn't this owl adorable?! I just discovered Willow Designs and all of Sharon's cute little images. This little guy's name is Walter, and he captured my heart. When I discovered that there was a challengehappening, and that the prize is a wallet full of promarkers, well I'm all in!! I would be over the moon to win something like that, so I just have to give it a try!

This weeks sketch is so much fun to create with, one that I will use over and over again, and you really need to try it for yourself to see what I'm talkin' about!

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team has created for more inspiration on the SSW Blog and join us this week.

How many cards do you send out "just because"? I really need to send out more to friends and family across the miles, and not just on birthdays and holidays. This wee little gal seemed to fit the bill!

This adorable little angel is just one of the many new holiday images that you'll want for your very own.

It's Monday....have you had your coffee yet? Sometimes there just isn't enough to go around, is there?! Don't you wish you got such a pretty cup at your local coffee shop, with bows and flowers and all...hehehe...Have a great day!

Hello there...this one is for a mystery card swap I've got going on this evening with the gals. We were each given a bag full of goodies to use sight unseen. Well can you believe I got my favorite Stampin' Up paper of all time?!!! I felt how this gal looks when I opened it up!

I couldn't help but choose this little football player, with the NFL season opening tomorrow nite. Of course my beloved Green Bay Packers (and Superbowl Champions of course) have the honor of starting off the season, and I can't wait!If you need some inspirational influence on what to do with this sketch, be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team's creations on SSW blog!

I just received this owl stamp set from my wonderful CTMH friend rep Ronah and had to ink it up! The jar of flowers is also a stamp that I borrowed from my good friend Jan a long time ago. I used the versamark/chalk technique on it and made a whole bunch of these, so I thought I use one today. The layout is the inspiration of Paper Sundaes Sketch Challenge 85 this week!

I hope there's an October birthday so I can give this to someone then, because ever since I made a Halloween card with this stamp that's all I can think of. Perhaps if I had stamped it in a different color, I'd feel differently about it. I haven't done a pink/black combo card in awhile, so I got it out of my system for awhile with this one!
